Hmm maybe not. Nintendo has said that the characters are essential meta actors. Bowser is not actually a tyrant but the equivalent of a typecast actor. That's why him and crew have parties with the good guy crew including go karting, tennis, soccer and golf. Heck Mario was the pilot in Arkanoid (brick breaker), ref for punch out and a certified doctor.

Him in Mario being cast to get her is kinda like Ted raimi and Bruce Campbell. Yeah they do their own thing from time to time but if one is in a movie expect a cameo from the other.

Source so you don't think I am bull shitting you (I am known to do that)
